You can get your tickets at the following pubs on Southover Street:
They are also available at:
We strictly control admission numbers. Friday tickets are already getting scarce, so get them while you can.
You can be a part of the best party in Hanover by offering to help out at the 2011 Beer Festival. We’re looking for all sorts of people, not just bar help.
Take a look at the volunteering form, and let us know if you’d like to join the many voluntary staff who help to make it such a success.
The sooner you get the form back to us, the more likely you are to land the job you’d most like – ideally before the August Bank Holiday (August 29th).
Try the pdf form. If the “submit” button doesn’t email it back to us you can save it and then attach it to an email to hanoverbeerfestival@gmail.com. You can also download the form as a Word document if you prefer to print it and fill it in by hand.
Our 23rd Annual Hanover Beer Festival was another triumph, thanks to Iain and all our wonderful volunteers, generous sponsors, supportive suppliers and happy festival-goers.
This year’s top talking point had to be the weather. It rained throughout the run-up, and by Thursday afternoon we’d reached the point where we’d have to impose a “wellies or waders” dress code if we couldn’t get rid of the large puddle that had formed in a dip in the garden.
Iain came up with a site rescue plan and ordered tonnes of scalpings for delivery Friday morning. A call went out for people and wheelbarrows to help shift them, and a selection of Hanover heroes – Rob, Richard, Si, Simon and Ian – stepped in to help Iain. All of them deserve medals.
“Good beer festival, good atmosphere”
“Brilliant”
“The best ever”
“Thanks for a great beer festival – pity about the rain”
By opening time on Friday evening no-one was going to let torrential rain and stormy winds get in the way of raising funds for their top Hanover charity and on Saturday just before closing time all records were broken as one lucky punter was served with the very last pint of all!
When we’ve paid all the bills we expect to have raised £6,000. Thank you, Hanover!

An hour before we open the gates our sponsors can join us for an exclusive tasting of the beers on offer. Despite the rain, many of them turned out and enjoyed the beers and a bit of local networking.

The beers arrived on Wednesday, and then the weather got worse. By the opening night (Friday, 1st October) we had torrential rain and stormy winds – the wettest weekend of the year had begun. Maybe the bad weather made everyone even more determined to have fun.
